Here i have a list of quotes from this last year, that I spent traveling through India, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The people who were there at that moment will laugh as much as I am while writing it :)
Mirek, old man with wise words :)
"You go upstairs/downstairs!"
"Today is today..tomorrow....is other day!"
"Nobody know, only god know, but he's asleep, don't wake him up!"
"Look! There!!" running away from the hug :P
"U make bag? very gut! NOW i go drink!" and then he goes and sit down at Ganesh's shop and has a Kingfisher :)
"Urgency!! Call ambulance!! mental hospital!"
"Today is raining, I can only drink, smoke and do nothing!" (definitely keeping this one in mind...!)
"Nicole, now we count! no fall asleep!"
"Now I have to go look football!" while grabbing a crab by it's leg
"Renata today lose her last teeth"
Mirek is drunk and a bit stoned after a half bottle of whiskey and laughs. we ask him why he laugh and he says:
"funny is life... and whiskey!"
Nathalie, 12 years old, is trying to eat spagetti with a fork but it gets complicated. Mirek looks at her (he is stoned of course), laughes and says:
"look! nathalie is dancing with spagetti"
Mirek and Jeanna is talking about some swedish friend. Mirek says: "you dont know svenska flicka??"
Mirek, Nicole and Anna baby :)
Renata, the lesbian artist with no teeth :)Others:
"Naughty naughty, swedish girls naughty naughty! No money no honey no boom boom!" "Sorry Nickel!! sorry!!" Says Tora Tora Hindi
"This is the first episode of FRENDS! Anushka babushka eh!! Oh no!"
"Why like this? Lama Kaja?"
"Do u have the time? I have the time on my mobile phone...I'll tell u...if u give me some of ur water!" psycho guy in Kaza, shirt inside out, nice hair :P
"Eat teto eat teto eat bread" - dish on a vietnamese menuConversation with indian man:
Anna: "So u married?"
Indian: "No, not married"
Anna: "So when are u gonna marry indian woman?"
I: "No, if i marry I marry western woman!"
A: "Oh, wester woman? why Western woman?"
I: "Western woman much more experienced!" (wobbling head)
A: "Oh, u a very experienced man?"
I: "I see many movies"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
This was the restaurant where this conversation was held, in Palolem :)
Indian honesty...:
-----
Indian: "U very healthy woman!"
Nickel: "Yes, I'm very strong"
Indian: "No, i don't think strong, i think little bit fat, like my sister!" while pinching Nicole's arm.

Indian taxi driver to Lizzy: "U look old and boring"Guy at train about Lizzy, who's reading: "I think ur friend is a little bit boring"And she's ANYTHING but boring!
Lizzush and Anushka doing THE greeting :)FIGARO FIGARO oh no!-----
Honest indians: "I think...u little bit fat"
Me: "No, i'm not!"
Indian, grabbing my belly: "Yes u are!!!"Later, pointing at Nickel: "And u also little bit fat!"-----
Calcutta Airpor. Waiting to check in. We
ask an indian guy if we can check in. He asnwers:
"Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. Sit sit sit sit sit sit sit" Stops talking. Looks at us. Says
"HELLO!" as if he had never seen us before.

Indian Taxi drivers are known for driving fast and crazy through Bombays busy streets.
We were in a hurry, about to loose our train. Of course we had the "luck" to find the only slow taxi driver in Bombay, that actually stopped at red light, something ever seen before.
After checking up in the dictionary how to say "Fast, hurry!" in hindi:
Me:
"Jaldi Jaldi!!!! Hurry hurry chicken curry!! JALDI!! Bahut Jaldi hai!!" The taxi driver takes my hand and wants to teach me how to change the gear....
Me:
"No!! Jaldi!! Bahut jaldi hai! Train!! Jaldi jaldi!"Taxi driver points at the music radio, wobble his head and asks if i want to
change the music. He sings to the Bollywood song, keeps on stopping at red light, and all other ways of transportation, including cars, bicycles, rikshas, yeah, even cows, pass by...
We call our indian friend, tell he the situation,
give the taxi driver the phone, she explains to him, taxi driver stare at us with disbelief.
We stop trying. He keeps on stoppin to red light, driving slow, showing us the view, changing songs, singing and dancing.
But we didn't miss the train! :D
...Thank u haha...
What a year!! :D
